LUCIA RIOFRIO

Accessories – Washington, D.C.

I grew up on the northern coast of Peru in a city called Piura. From a very young age, I was always interested in art, from theater to fashion. I was very lucky to have aunts who taught me to draw, paint and work in a variety of mediums. Being one of eight daughters, talking about fashion was an everyday conversation (even my father knew a little). What to wear was one of the most frequently asked questions in my house. However, my favorite and most important question was what followed: with what jewelry and accessories? To me, jewelry and accessories help shape and give the final touch to any outfit. As time passed, I got married and moved to United States. Once here, I decided to start making jewelry for myself and friends. Two years ago, I decided to take it to the next level. What I enjoy most is creating something new and beautiful with my hands. I decided to dedicate all my work, passion and love to making jewelry that is unique and highlights womens\' true beauty. My jewelry is meant to be worn as a pice of art because each piece has been carefully considered, designed and made to complement womens\' natural beauty.
